HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN ROMITA JR

happy birthday to John Romita jr ! ,when i was drawing Spectacular Spider-man Adventures comic for Panini/ Marvel U.K i was buying The Amazing Spider-man U.S comic drawn by JRJR to inspire me and to get into the groove of drawing Spidey,

he's my favourite modern Spidey artist and also one of my comic book icons ,he has a great knack of story telling ,showing emotion ,grace and power in his work and he makes drawing look so simple when it's not.

this image just shows how great he is at drawing Spidey but also action.
